Given that man was created in god's image, seems to me that mockery comes as part of the package.

The Bible has some pretty harsh words to say about a lot of stuff. And then it turns around and contradicts itself. Given all the pain and death and tragedy in the world today going completely ignored, I'd say a humorous card like this one is THE LEAST of any god's problems right now.

What a fuckhead. It's cool for them to harass the fuck out of you on your art, which no one is making them look at, but not cool for you to put said art out there in the world? Nice. Christians are always the best argument against Christianity.

I knew before having children that one day they would do something that was completely, comprehensibly, stupid. That at some point they would rebel against me, maybe even yell in my face that they hate me.

So I did my best to prepare to handle that time when it came. And as a result, we got though it, and my children are all the wiser for it.

God, created Man with free will. Unlike a parent he knew exactly what each and every one of us would do.

So he also prepared a plan to handle it when we fell from grace.

He sent his only begotten son to live among use, as one of us, suffering all the things we suffer, facing all the temptations we face, yet without sinning. He in all ways fulfilled the Law, and then laid down his life, suffering far worse that you or I have ever suffered, to be the propitiation (google it) for our sins.

No. What I am mocking are fanatical Christians who've sucked all the fun out of Christmas. Seriously. You guys need to get over it and realize you don't own the holidays. Trees, mistletoe, gift giving, feasts, gathering with family, and all the other great traditions we celebrate in December started long before Christianity ever existed. And despite the millions of dollars Christians have spent on billboards and commercials proclaiming that "Jesus is the reason for the season" the truth is, Christ was NEVER the reason for most of the odd rituals we practice every December.

Now by seeing your rant above you clearly think I'm some ignorant fuck who knows nothing about your faith. If you'd read either of my books you'd know otherwise. Both theology and mythology factor largely in my work and is something I've studied extensively.

So I'll ask you this, is the god of your faith so small that he would be offended by what some smart ass atheist posts on Deviant Art?

I feel like I would enjoy this more if I didn't have so many engrams clogging my reactive mind. Once I become more certain of my reality as a Thetan, I'm sure I'll laugh more. Or cry more. But they will be joyful tears of an improved ARC level.
